Sorry I slept in this a.m. ... second trip to the golf course wore me right out ... in any event, today you'll notice I'm identifying blog authors, not blogs ... time to make them all into celebrities (if they aren't already!):

Adrian Murdoch is looking at Roman loan agreements ... with a minor correction ... and a followup ... [note in passing: the 'low' annual interest rate was pretty much 'standard'; the only time Roman law allowed higher interest rates was in situations usually referred to as 'bottomry loans' (i.e. loans to a ship captain who would pay back after his voyage) -- a high risk venture required a higher return (and interestingly, a number of women are involved in such loans in the Codex Justinianus)

N.S. Gill is playing with a fun little Latin Program ...
Irene Hahn is looking at friendship in ancient times ...

Mary Beard underwent some 'media training', and the experience seems like it could help folks in many situations ...

Dorothy King features some, er, Classical undies ...

Laura Gibbs offers some proverbia de undis (not undies) ...

Ed Flinn has a Salonina/Apollo ...

This was mentioned on the Latin list yesterday ... the latest In Our Time is a nice little podcast on Greek Comedy ...
